How do I structure an essay?

Very generally; an essay is made up of an introduction, main body and conclusion.An introduction 'funnels into' your main body and aims to draw the reader in and establish what you're going to argue or investigate in your essay, without 'waffling' too much (3 sentences or so is fine).The main body is made up of your 'points' made in the form of paragraphs (in general 3 is a good amount, depending on word count). In each paragraph try to follow a 'PEE' structure; point, evidence (in the form of a quotation), and explanation (explaining how the evidence proves the point).The conclusion is often the trickiest bit as it can sometimes feel a bit like repeating yourself! Keep it simple by reminding readers the point of your essay which you stated in the introduction, and how the points you have made support your conclusion. A snappy last sentence is a nice touch but not essential. Good luck!
